Obituary of Mr. Sense
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common Sense.

Mr. Sense had been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such value lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn't always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies(don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge).

His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place: reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student. These all only worsened his condition. Mr. Sense declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student, but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Finally, Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense finally passed away after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers, My Rights and Ima Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone.

ok, so it's only monday-it's safe to say that my week has been pretty good...well as long as you don't count the fact that i was stood up and the number i have for the guy is quite obviously the wrong one! Grrrrrrrrr! Should i give up now?

Anyways, i'm determined not to dwell too much on that. I barely knew this guy anyway-not that i make it a habit of meeting up with people that i rarely know.

Today has been fun-catching up with people i know i don't see often enough. [hi Benny! :) ] It was actually pretty cool to see them and though i didn't say much-to hear what they have been up to and know that they haven't dropped out of existence (deliberately anyway).

Apart from that i got up early to make sushi rolls. Yay me! I was proud anyway cause the sushi they sell at uni smells kinda funny and tastes on par with how it smells. But the stuff i made today admittedly tasted kinda bland-it was ok, once i convinced the sushi man to give me a fish of soy sauce. :)

Anyways, should probably finish my stuff for my tute before it starts.
